Fresh Peach Cobbler
Print Recipe

Every summer, my mom would gather peaches from our backyard tree, their golden skins warm from the sun. She’d make this peach cobbler on lazy Sunday afternoons—it was simple, sweet, and always brought us together. This fresh peach cobbler brings that homemade love to your table with easy steps and juicy results. Perfect for sharing… or not!

Ingredients

Scale

For the peach filling:

  • 6–8 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 2 tsp cornstarch

For the cobbler topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

  • 1/4 cup boiling water

Optional topping:

  • 3 tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter an 8×8-inch baking dish.

  • In a bowl, mix peaches with sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Pour into the dish.

  • In another bowl, mix flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until crumbly.

  • Stir in boiling water just until the dough forms.

  • Drop spoonfuls of topping over the peaches. It will spread as it bakes.

  • Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if using.

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the topping is golden and peaches are bubbly.

  • Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Delicious with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

  • No fresh peaches? Frozen peaches work—just thaw and drain first.

  • Want it less sweet? Cut sugar in the filling by a third without losing flavor.
